How Big is Your Brave?

We finally got a nice sunny day, so I made the girls and I a nice lunch and we at it on the deck yesterday. That might seem pretty boring to some, but making lunch and being able to move was a big step for me. My back is finally loosening up after 8 days. I'm pretty sure I either strained or sprained a ligament, which was pretty painful, but hey, it didn't destroy me.

So, I had my ipod music going and the song, "Brave" by Sara Bareilles came on. We were sitting there kind of visiting, singing, and humming a bit, when Serena said, "hey mom, how big is your brave?"
Without thinking, I made my fingers into a tiny pinch which eventually grew into a big sweeping motion, and finally ended with my finger pointing to the sky. "That's how big my "brave" is," I said. "God is my brave. I'm not brave at all without Him."

She smiled and we went on visiting, singing, and humming...

How big is your brave?

Words Matter. Choose them carefully.

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
